She was given almost no acknowledgment whatsoever. When she was young, no one helped her survive poverty or take care of her child. The problem was that Claudette was then almost completely forgotten by the movement even long after its major successes. Given the stigma on unwed motherhood in the black community and behind, she was deemed unfit. At the time, she was considered an inappropriate face for the Civil Rights movement as she was a young, "emotional" unwed, pregnant mother.
